A 20 year old man has been charged with numerous crimes, including sexual assault and false imprisonment after a Christmas altercation with his ex-girlfriend. David Irwin, out on bond for felony menacing, was taken to the Logan County (CO) jail for an alleged attack on his ex-girlfriend.

The Journal-Advocate (Sterling, CO) has more in their story, Police arrest man on alleged assault on ex-girlfriend:

Police were called to Irwin’s home shortly after midnight Dec. 25, 2007, in response to an assault in progress. Shortly after being dispatched, officers were notified two women were in the police department lobby wanting to report an attempted rape.

The alleged victim told police she and Irwin were hanging out at a friend’s house, and then later at his house, when the assault happened. The woman told police she was able to dial her mother’s phone number on her cell phone during the assault, and her mother, brother and his friend came over to help her and take her to police.

According to the police report, Irwin’s eyes were bloodshot and his breath had a strong odor of alcohol when he was transported to the LCDC. Irwin told the officer he had played beer pong with a friend and had gone home when he believes the alleged victim used a key he had given her to get into the home to talk. According to Irwin, the woman was standing in the doorway for a minute or so when three other people appeared. Irwin told the officer one of the men started beating him and he called the police.

Among the numerous charges that Irwin faces are sexual assault, domestic violence, and 3rd degree assault.
